Topic: What are your favorite parts about SFC3

[red_green]

We always see threads about what the game needs. Thought I'd try one about what you like about it. Heres my top ten list.
With 1  the  best.

1: The sun. Simply awesome

2: I love the music that plays when you install it. I never here it in game though.

3: Specularity- and just how much clearer the ships look compared to SFC2

4: Ship banking. Makes for great screen shots.

5: Officer system. Great for making prestige by trading officers in.

6: Romulan Cloaking.  

7: The combat interface

8: Being able to place a pic and history of custom ships in the library

9: Non-stop Skirmish mode. Each time a higher class.

10: I like the faster speed of the ships.

Im not a fan of banking personally and I hate glows...

All that other stuff is good though...

[Magnum357]

I agree, the glows I had always thought were unnessessary.  It feels lke I'm looking through a blury glass and its just a copy of Bridge Commander.  I liked the no glo effects of SFC2.

As for the which of the above I like the best, I vote for #6 and #8.  I would also add that I like the customability of SFC3 because the GAW mod just kicks butt and would not be possible if SFC3 was not customizable.

I agree on the customability, but not sure about the glows. It's eye candy, and Heck I did like Lost in Space.

i love the ability to have glows. it changes the game for the positive in the best way!

that said, the ability to customize the game!

    I agree with on everything red green the sun actually destroyed me once in the Romulan campaign .I just like the way the ship look a little more real and I do like way the handle .I really like the way ships move though you can go as fast as you want and still charge those weapons up and I like Refitting those impulse engines and thrusters .I do relly like the refit the best I like making my own variations of ships.I like Romulan aswell as Klingon cloak and you can go to warp
under cloak .I like the schematics mine and my opponets eg.if I want to slow them down I just click on the Impulse drive it is those subsystem targetting that I like and in my schematic I like reinforceing my shields there .There is not much I do not like of the game except the way the ship blow up I like the way they  blow up in vol.2 and OP .I like fact that
they only use the authentic weaponery for the Empires all in all it is a good game it would be nice to see more Empires
though .I hope when Taldren does do another Star Trek  game it more like this just make the ships blow up better and show the burning effect aswell like in OP.

I like the D3. If I could get the gameplay of SFC1 or 2 with the D3 that
would be one pretty groovy game.

Nanner's mod gets pretty close to that but I miss tracking plasma
now and then.

    Dallas lets be nice to one another now.  I wouldn't want get the Forum Police after you now  so lets stop this spit
    and spat . I have done enough of this already  and I do not want to do it the hard way eg. tonights Enterprise

    Just Leave it OK  Thanks

Ummmmm, you've lost me. What the heck are you talking about? All I said is that
I like the D3. Please point out the spit and spat (whatever that is).

 

[Age]

    Sorrt it was a misunderstanding I just went to check out Nanner Slug and now I see what you mean .I thought that you were joking aruond with me or teasing I have had enough of that in here considering tonights Enterprise

   Just no offence ,I would remove the thing about the Psychatrist from the bottem you don't know it will offend
   and put something different    

[Teeth_03]

well,if u dont like the glows then just remove them

I think big thing about 3 thats not in 2 is the re-fit system.
The one bad thing that 3 dosent have that 2 does is missiles,thay were my favorite weapons in 2

[feargusf]

I actually p[refer the energetic explosions of the first SFC. Remember how the pieces would go flying off? That was really cool! Who's with me?  

[DH123]

D3 fleeting.   I really wish that was available in OP, as well as the other cool modding features.  

[Fusili]

Heres my top 10 list:
1)I like custom configurations,unlike previous SFC games where you had to fly default configurations.
2)TNG ships,era.
3)Ships are beutifuly made.
4)The game is made simpler and thus unlike OP understandable to average human brain.
5)The game is user friendly to modifications.
6)The best SFC game ever.
7)Warp drive ,you no loger need eternity to fly from 1 side of the map to the other.
8)You can destroy Borg vessels
9)The game is so simple,and yet so complex.
10)Game is faster than previous SFC games.  

[Teeth_03]

another bad thing about 3,is the 4 playable races limit,which really sucks,altho there might,very low chance,could be some loopholes thru that...

[IndyShark]

I love all of the ships and races. I like how Taldren implemented the Hydrans, Lyrans, Gorns, and, and ................


Did you say SFC3?  

[Lurien]

What I like about SFC3:

-Four shields and the reinforcement control, I like this much more than the six shields.
-Warping, this is fun and adds an interesting dynamic to the game.
-Real cloaking and anit-cloak scanning, same as above.
-Refitting, you can do it within the bounds of the game.
-The fact that ships can have different top speeds.
-2D!!!! Yes, 2D were this game 3D it would detract from gameplay.

That said there are alot of things that SFC2OP has over SFC3 so we still play SFC2OP instead. This thread is not about that though). Were I to spec SFC4 it would contain elements from both games and would be very customizable which in the end means it would suit anybody who wanted to put some effort into it. I love these games and hope that the franchise will continue. Taldren I WANT TO BUY YOUR PRODUCTS so please put something on the shelf!

   I hope there all reading this thread .Thats all I really have to say .

I kinda like that feature as well, but it does have its downsides.  There's a certain amount of "persecution" (for lack of a better word) that D3 fleeting makes possible.

well,if u dont like the glows then just remove them I do like the Glows  .(I like them better in OP though )

I think big thing about 3 thats not in 2 is the re-fit system.
The one bad thing that 3 dosent have that 2 does is missiles,thay were my favorite weapons in2  ( They
 didn"t use them in the Show and they are sticking what was used in the show ,The Enterprise,A,B,C,D and E never used
 missles that is just off the board game and not in any TV series and it better to stick with Authenticty than a mere
 exageration wich is what the rest are sticking to canon .You don't even need them you going to fast anyway faster
 than the missles in the others .The only thing I would like to see are t-bomps and they did use them in Chian of
 Cammand .I hope this sheads a light on what you are saying.)
